into the corridors OF the jail by hun
dreds and almost thousands.
Several hundred who were nit Fly
unable to furnish any valid reason why
they should be admitted 10 the jail w,r.
refused admission. and walked away
very indignant at the "tyrannical OK
clusiyeness - ol the Jail officials.
Among those vino were 10 be thus

course, however much his relatives
condemned it, to getting wealth from
them.
